iโm so proud of my mom. she recently started masking with KN95 in stores and at work. she also often talks about her colleagues not caring about covid and says itโs because they donโt know the long-term damage the virus causes. i think i successfully covid-conscioused her!

'Can we reimagine surgical culture? Not by lowering standards, but by widening the lens?' Fabulous and wise words from @RahiKarmarkar about how inclusion 'isnโt about being better or worse, but about being different in a way that strengthens the whole.' https://t.co/7Htb9UGq1T

If you live in Canada & your income falls below a set threshold (& you do not have private dental insurance already) you are eligible for the federal dental care program. Like universal medicare, the hope is it's not just for emergencies but for preventative care too. #checkups
